A nsation haa been caused by the pub
hcation OF Gen. Redvers Buffers evidence
before the land commission. Gen. Butler
testified: What law there was in counties
Kerry, Glare and Cork was on the side OF
the rich. 1t would be a serious matter,
with their grievances unredressed, to at.
tempt to suppress by force the tenants
OF their interests. A majority OF the ten
ants struggled to pay their rents, and where
they could. did pay; but in great many
Eases the rents were too high, and such as the
tenants could not pay. There would new
er be peace in Ireland until there had been
established q court having strong coercive
powers over bad landlords and protective
powers over poor tenants. The Pail Mall
Gazette declares the facts attested by
Gen. Butler come like flash of vivid light
ming, revealing the naked horrors OF or.
ganizcd injustice in Ireland. No crime
which the moonlighters or dynamiters car
commit will be comparable to the crimi.
nality OF giving another days grace to the
loul fabric OF legalized wrong erected on
Irish sofia fabric which the Tories now
seek to buttress by further misdeeds.

yielded 14S ounces OF gold. These discov
cries naturally give an impetus to pros
discovery OF marvelously extensive and
rich gold quartz veins. The vice consul
believes that the Transvaal fields, when
fully developed will prove among the rich
est in the world.
